Vehicle under the Net cannot be detected by a Thermal camera (Day time)

Interesting. So in fact we have quite bige numebers of multispectral camuflage:
Russia - Nakidka and newest "Tarnina" or "Blackthorn"
Ukraina - Kontrast
Poland - Berberys
Greece - Intemat IR Defense Review - Intermat Stealth Anti-Thermal/IR Camouflage Tech for Infantry and Special Operations Forces and '
Chameleon Anti-Thermal Coatings
Sweden - SAAB Barracuda
Israeli - FIBROTEX FIBROTEX - Mobile Camouflage systems and second solution (later I will find it)
Pakistani - ??? any name?
India - no name:

Serbian - the same
China - Multispectral Camouflage Net, Multispectral Camouflage Net - TradeAsia Global Suppliers - Asia

Of course they abilitiest to hide tank are difrent - as most advanced looks Russian " Tarnina" (Blackthorn?:


Polish Berberys looks good too:

Intermat, Barracuda, Nakidka - well Saab Barracuda was rejected by Australian as to weak, Nakidka is old now, Intermat - no idea, look interesting, but idea is so diffrent then on athore camuflage system so I haven't idea:

Those Pakistant cover looks nice to.

ah the Ukrainian brilliance..

No no no, please without that pictures Ukrainian T-72-120 was placed many times here
And both cut-vvievs of the Ob.184 (T-72B) are weak.
Here is smth made by myself about T-72B:

It is also exported to few countries.

As per Janes...

AntiVisual, Anti-Night Vision, Anti-Infra-red, Anti-Radar and Anti-Millimeter Wave. The average reduction in RCS is 86 percent and average reduction in detection range is 43.8 percent. Due to this net, a vehicle cannot be detected by a thermal or an IR camera. The net was wholly produced by Pakistan-based AWC and a prototype was first displayed at IDEAS 2004 alongside the Sino-Pak produced K-8 Jet Trainer. Orders for the net have so far been placed by Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and the United Arab Emirates.

MBT 2000 (Al Khalid) (Pakistan) - Jane's Armour and Artillery


On 1 October 1988, it was announced that Pakistan would manufacture a new MBT (MBT 2000) with the assistance of the People's Republic of China and with the now Heavy Industries Taxila in Pakistan carrying out the programme.The project was approved by the Defence Committee of the Cabinet on 16 January 1990 and the contract with China North Industries Corporation (NORINCO) was signed in May 1990.Rather than build a new MBT from scratch, Pakistan elected a four-phased approach:Upgrade the existing NORINCO Type 59 MBT. Details of the three phase Type 59 MBT upgrade are given in a separate entry in Jane's Armoured Fighting Vehicles. Assembly/manufacture of the NORINCO Type 69-II MBT; this has 50 per cent of its components from the Type 59 and 50 per cent new components. Production of Type 69-II hulls commenced in Pakistan in 1993 with the turrets still coming from China. The Pakistan designation is the Type 69-IIMP with the engine developing 580 hp. Details of the Type 69 are given in a separate entry in Jane's Armoured Fighting Vehicles. Co-production and manufacture of the NORINCO Type 85 MBT; this has 20 per cent components from the Type 59, 30 per cent components from the Type 69-II MBT and 50 per cent new components. The first batches of Type 85 MBT came from China until quantity production in

Description
The layout of the MBT 2000 is conventional, with the driver's compartment at the front, turret in the centre and the power pack at the rear. In many respects the MBT 2000 appears to be almost identical to the Chinese NORINCO Type 90-II MBT.The turret and hull are of all-welded steel armour construction and an additional layer of composite armour has been added over the frontal arc, to which explosive reactive armour can be added if required. Turret thickness at the front is estimated to be 600 mm with the glacis/nose estimated to be 450 to 470 mm.The armour is of modular design enabling the user to change the damaged modules or replace the existing models with new armour packages as the threat evolves or as new technology becomes available.Main armament is a 125 mm smoothbore gun fitted with a thermal sleeve and a fume extractor. The 125 mm gun is autofrettaged and chrome plated. This can fire APFSDS (muzzle velocity 1,760 m/s), HEAT (muzzle velocity 850 m/s) and HE-FRAG (muzzle velocity 950 m/s). It can also fire a laser guided projectile fitted with a HEAT warhead. The gun is fed by an automatic loader enabling the crew to be reduced to three: commander; gunner and driver.Ammunition for the 125 mm smoothbore gun has been manufactured by Pakistan Ordnance Factories for several years including 125 mm APFSDS and HE fragmentation types.As originally developed, a total of 39 rounds of 125 mm ammunition of the separate loading type were carried

south Sudanese Type-96 vs Sudanese T-72.....latter was provided by Ukraine.

turret goes off!

 

[Damian]

ZTZ-96 would end up in the same "turretless" condition if ammunition would start to deflagrate, both tanks have similiar ammunition storage.

BTW this T-72 looks like old T-72AV, so nothing special.

 

[Kunal Biswas]

Tank crew skill and Luck..

RIP to the fallen Crew..

 

[Broccoli]

I'm quite sure that is Sudanese made Al Bashier (Type-85M-II).

In terms of concept, Anders program is very much alike..
